No, the Storage Access Framework does not expose the filesystem. All access is through DocumentsProvider implementations in the various apps that you have installed. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE now grants read-only access to secondary storage, and only system-level apps can request the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission that is necessary for read-write.
- bdonlan 13y agoHm, is there no system-level app installed by default that provides an implementation of DocumentsProvider that provides read/write access to the external SD card?
- tadfisher 13y agoThe entire card? No. The MediaStore provider provides access to the standard media storage directories (DCIM/, Music/, etc) and each individual app may provide a DocumentsProvider for their private storage (/data/<your.app>/ or whatever they've moved it to).
